Lyrics
Child In Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line;
The line that's drawn between good and bad.
See the blind man shooting at the world.
Bullets flying; taking toll.
If you've been bad, (oh) Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit, oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes.
O-oh, bow your head.
Wait for the ricochet.
oo-oo-oo
